Entertainment News Article | Reuters.com: “WASHINGTON (Hollywood Reporter) – Two high-profile U.S. senators, Joseph Lieberman and Hillary Rodham Clinton, are incensed over pornographic content ‘hidden’ in the popular video game ‘Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas,’ and are demanding action from either the government or the game’s maker.
The content can be unlocked by using the ‘Hot Coffee’ code modification widely available on the Internet. By installing the modification, gamers can have their drivers find different girlfriends in the game who will have a ‘cup of hot coffee’ — a euphemism for sex — with them.”
Clinton (D-N.Y.), meanwhile, said she will introduce legislation to help keep inappropriate video games out of the hands of children, and has asked the Federal Trade Commission to investigate the “Grand Theft Auto” game.
Her legislative proposal would institute a financial penalty for retailers who fail to enforce the video manufacturers voluntary ratings system rules. It would prohibit the sale of violent and sexually explicit video games to minors and put in place a $5,000 penalty for those who violate the law.
“The disturbing material in ‘Grand Theft Auto’ and other games like it is stealing the innocence of our children, and it’s making the difficult job of being a parent even harder,” Clinton said.
In America, a video game can “steal the innocence of our children”. In Iraq, it takes a village of suicide bombers to destroy an innocent child.
